Mechanical properties of natural fibre reinforced polymer composites

During the last few years, natural fibres have received much more attention than ever before from the research community all over the world. These natural fibres offer a number of advantages over traditional synthetic fibres. In the present communication, a study on the synthesis and mechanical properties of new series of green composites involving Hibiscus sabdariffa fibre as a reinforcing material in urea-formaldehyde (UF) resin based polymer matrix has been reported. Static mechanical properties of randomly oriented intimately mixed Hibiscus sabdariffa fibre reinforced polymer composites such as tensile, compressive and wear properties were investigated as a function of fibre loading. Initially urea-formaldehyde resin prepared was subjected to evaluation of its optimum mechanical properties. Then reinforcing of the resin with Hibiscus sabdariffa fibre was accomplished in three different forms: particle size, short fibre and long fibre by employing optimized resin. Present work reveals that mechanical properties such as tensile strength, compressive strength and wear resistance etc of the urea-formaldehyde resin increases to considerable extent when reinforced with the fibre. Thermal (TGA/DTA/DTG) and morphological studies (SEM) of the resin and biocomposites have also been carried out.     

Tensile,creep and fatigue behaviours of short fibre reinforced polymer composites at elevated temperatures: a literature survey

Polymer composites are suitable alternatives to metals in some applications as they are cost effective, lightweight and corrosion resistant. Short fibre reinforced polymer composites (SFRPCs) are typically subjected to complex loadings in applications, including static, cyclic, thermal and their combinations. These applications may also involve harsh environmental conditions such as elevated temperature and moisture which can dramatically affect mechanical properties. In this paper, a broad survey of the literature on mechanical behaviour of SFRPCs at elevated temperatures is presented. The mechanical behaviours included consist of tensile, creep, isothermal fatigue, thermo‐mechanical fatigue and creep–fatigue interaction. Environmental effects such as moisture and ageing at elevated temperatures are also included. The studies reviewed include experimental works, modelling works and failure mechanisms studies. A critical assessment of the information from the literature presented for each type of behaviour is also provided.

Correlation of injection moulding parameters with mechanical and morphological aspects of natural fibre reinforced thermoplastics

The mechanical behaviour of fibre reinforced composites depends – amongst other things – on the morphological structure. This in turn is greatly affected by the processing conditions. In this study a 10 weight % flax fibre reinforced high density polyethylene composite is prepared by extrusion compounding followed by injection moulding. The effect of injection temperature, speed and rotational screw speed on the morphology of fibres and matrix are studied and related to the tensile and impact behaviour of the composites. Results indicate that fibre length is easily affected by all parameters under consideration. Whereas a higher injection temperature allows the preservation of fibre length, an excessive increase in temperature, however, leads to their thermal degradation. Increased injection and rotational speeds further introduce excessive shear stresses on the fibre, causing their breakage, similarly leading to reduced mechanical performance. Matrix structure is mainly affected by the injection temperature, where its increase leads to the reduction in the degree of crystallinity and thus also a decrease in tensile strength. Other processing parameters prove to have minor effect on matrix morphology.     

Investigation of rheological and mechanical properties of wood flour reinforced polypropylene

This study aims to investigate the rheological and mechanical properties of polypropylene when reinforced by wood flour. In the study, wood flour (WF) was added as filling material to polypropylene (PP), and its effects were investigated. The grain size of the wood flour was 300 μm. Wood flour was mixed into polypropylene material at different rates of weight. Viscosity changes of the polypropylene at various temperatures and pressure values of the concentration rates were documented. As a result, viscosity increases as the amount of wood flour filling is increased; yet as temperature, pressure and shear rate are increased, viscosity decreases. The study also focuses on the changes in its mechanical properties of polypropylene reinforced with wood flour. The tensile strength of reinforced polypropylene at varying percentages (wt. 5 %, wt. 10 % and wt. 15 %) was observed to decrease by 11 %, 16 % and 21 %, respectively, compared to that of non‐reinforced polypropylene. Additionally, impact tests showed that the highest energy absorption was in 10 % wood flour reinforced polypropylene.     

基于深度信念网络的玄武岩纤维增强树脂复合材料耐久性预测

采用紫外线老化试验箱模拟大气环境中的紫外线进行加速老化试验,对玄武岩纤维增强树脂复合材料（BFRP）及环氧树脂在紫外线环境中的耐久性进行了研究。通过BFRP及环氧树脂经紫外线老化后的拉伸强度、弹性模量、断裂延伸率的变化,结合深度信念网络（DBN）的方法,预测BFRP及环氧树脂拉伸强度、弹性模量的变化趋势;并提出以同批次非破坏性试件的弹性模量作为BFRP耐久性的评价指标。结果表明,随着老化时间的延长,BFRP及环氧树脂的拉伸强度及断裂延伸率均先提高后下降,但弹性模量趋于平缓下降; DBN得到的预测值与试验值相对误差基本在10%以内,表明DBN进行BFRP及环氧树脂耐久性预测的有效性;以非破坏性试件的弹性模量来评价BFRP的耐久性更具科学性。      

Mechanical,thermal expansion,and flammability properties of co-extruded wood polymer composites with basalt fiber reinforced shells

Basalt fiber (BF) filled high density polyethylene (HDPE) and co-extruded wood plastic composites (WPCs) with BF/HDPE composite shell were successfully prepared and their mechanical, morphological and thermal properties characterized. The BFs had an average diameter of 7 μm with an organic surfactant surface coating, which was thermally decomposed at about 210 °C. Incorporating BFs into HDPE matrix substantially enhanced flexural, tensile and dynamic modulus without causing a noticeable decrease in the tensile and impact strength of the composites. Micromechanical modeling of tensile properties for the BF/HDPE composites showed a good fit of the selected models to the experimental data. Compared to neat HDPE, BF/HDPE composites had reduced linear coefficient of thermal expansion (LCTE) values. The use of the pure HDPE and BF/HDPE layers over a WPC core greatly improved impact strength of core–shell structured composites. However, the relatively less-stiff HDPE shell with large LCTE values decreased the overall composite modulus and thermal stability. Both flexural and thermal expansion properties were enhanced with BF reinforced HDPE shells, leading to well-balanced properties of core–shell structured material. Cone calorimetry analysis indicated that flammability performance of core–shell structured composites was improved as the BF content increased in the shell layer.     

Effects of fibre content on mechanical properties and fracture behaviour of short carbon fibre reinforced geopolymer matrix composites

Geopolymer matrix composites reinforced with different volume fractions of short carbon fibres (C_f/geopolymer composites) were prepared and the mechanical properties, fracture behaviour and microstructure of as-prepared composites were studied and correlated with fibre content. The results show that short carbon fibres have a great strengthening and toughening effect at low volume percentages of fibres (3·5 and 4·5 vol.%). With the increase of fibre content, the strengthening and toughening effect of short carbon fibres reduce, possibly due to fibre damage, formation of high shear stresses at intersect between fibres and strong interface cohesion of fibre/matrix under higher forming pressure. The property improvements are primarily based on the network structure of short carbon fibre preform and the predominant strengthening and toughening mechanisms are attributed to the apparent fibre bridging and pulling-out effect.

油井水泥石在井下易脆裂,造成油井层间封隔失效,进而影响油井开采。为了解决这一问题,需要对水泥石进行降脆增韧。首先,考察了甲基纤维素和羧甲基纤维素对碳纤维的分散效果;然后,研究了碳纤维对油井水泥石抗压强度、抗折强度和劈裂抗拉强度的影响,并模拟井下环境测试了水泥石单轴和三轴应力-应变曲线;最后,使用扫描电子显微镜对碳纤维增强水泥石的微观形貌进行观察,探讨碳纤维对水泥石的增韧机制。结果表明:0.2wt%的羧甲基纤维素溶液可有效分散碳纤维;养护28d后,0.3wt%碳纤维增强水泥石的抗压强度、抗折强度和劈裂抗拉强度较纯水泥石的分别提高8.6%、31.5%和52.4%,三轴直接加载条件下,其弹性模量较纯水泥石的低49.5%;经过分散的碳纤维在水泥石中乱向分布,形成三维网络结构,通过桥联、剥离及拔出耗能作用增强水泥石。研究结果为解决油井水泥石易脆裂的问题提供了理论参考。     

Thermoplastische Hybridlaminate mit variabler Metallkomponente

Hybrid laminates combine the positive properties of the metal and fibre reinforced plastic (FRP) components. Advantages of the FRP, like formability, recyclability as well as suitability for mass production, provide an outstanding advantage over thermosetting matrices. For the production of the hybrid laminates, at first continuous fibers and thermoplastic films are pre‐consolidated to fibre‐reinforced unidirectional tapes. Subsequently, these are pressed together with the metal component in a loadcapable optimized arrangement. Thereby the interface between the FRP and the metal foils is of crucial importance. This paper focuses on hybrid laminates with carbon‐fiber reinforced polyamide (CF‐PA6) functioning as core layers and glass‐fiber reinforced polyamide (GF‐PA6) as intermediate layers between the centre and metal component. Laminates in 2/1 and 3/2 structure with two respectively three metal layers and one respectively two FRP layers are examined. For the metal foil, the aluminium alloy EN AW‐6082 and the titanium alloy Ti3Al2.5V (Grade 9) are used. The production of these laminates, development and adjustment of the interface and the evaluation of mechanical properties are investigated in this article.     

Experimental and theoretical studies on the properties of injection moulded glass fibre reinforced mixed plastics composites

Recycled mixed post-consumer and post-industrial plastic wastes consisting of HDPE, LDPE and PP were injection moulded with short glass fibre (10–30% by weight) to produce a new generation composite materials. Intensive experimental studies were then performed to characterise the tensile, compression and flexural properties of glass fibre reinforced mixed plastics composites. With the addition of 30 wt.% of glass fibre, the strength properties and elastic modulus increased by as much as 141% and 357%, respectively. The best improvement is seen in the flexural properties due to the better orientation of the glass fibres in the longitudinal direction at the outer layers. The randomness and length of the glass fibre were accounted to modify the existing rule of mixture and fibre model analysis to reliably predict the elastic and strength properties of glass fibre reinforced mixed plastics composites.     

Investigation of mechanical properties of auxetic woven polymer composite material

Contrary to normal materials, the auxetic/meta‐materials expand transversally as well as longitudinally when subjected to longitudinal load and contract in both directions on compression. In this work, auxeticity is obtained in composites reinforced with carbon woven fabrics placed at certain angles. The auxetic effect on the mechanical properties of the prepared carbon/epoxy composites was investigated. The mechanical properties include the tensile, flexural and impact properties. It is found that the tensile properties are not affected by the auxetic effect; however, the flexural and impact properties are significantly enhanced by the auxetic effect.

Determination of dielectric properties of natural fiber reinforced polymer composite using adaptive neuro fuzzy inference system

In this study, the dielectric properties of polylactic acid reinforced with natural fibers are objectified by using adaptive neuro fuzzy inference system (ANFIS). This method is considered to be economically feasible as compared to fabricating dielectric samples and measuring dielectric properties with apt operating conditions and advanced equipment. Also, past research has focused primarily on polymer dielectric properties which does not involve any natural fiber inclusion, such that this research will focus on producing ANFIS models for natural fibers which will then be used to calculate dielectric permittivity ( ), dielectric loss ( ) with respect to frequency dependencies. Furthermore, experimental results of dielectric constants and losses of polylactic acid (PLA) based composites will be analyzed from past research which used physical techniques to fabricate composites and will be compared with the results from ANFIS models. It was found that error computation of both the properties are found to be low and the percentage difference in output data is considered less. In addition, the ANFIS neural network had predicted most of the data that was trained, and the crisp output values were found to correlate with the experimental dielectric properties which makes this prediction model possible to use as an alternative approach to fabricating composites and testing.     

Effect of abrasive jet process parameters on machining glass fibre reinforced polymer composite

An experimental and theoretical research work on abrasive jet machining of glass fiber reinforced polymer composite materials was conducted using abrasive jet machining setup fabricated in our workshop. The objective of this research work is to machine holes on the glass fiber reinforced polymer composite using an abrasive jet machine under various levels of process parameter.

Four factors five levels central composite rotatable design matrix was used for optimizing the required number of experiments. The objective of the present investigation is to develop mathematical models using the response surface methodology. The adequacy of the models has been checked using the ANOVA technique.

Fabrication and modelling of the macro-mechanical properties of cross-ply laminated fibre-reinforced polymer composites using artificial neural network

The mechanical behaviour of fibre-reinforced polymer composites (FRPCs) is considered very complex due to many factors such as composition, material type, manufacturing process and end user applications. This article presents the mechanical properties and artificial neural network (ANN) modelling results of cross-ply laminated FRPCs. Twenty composite samples were fabricated by varying the number of layers of carbon fibre and glass fibre as reinforcement and polyphenylene sulphide and high-density polyethylene as matrix. Mechanical properties were measured in terms of flexural modulus, hardness, impact and transverse rupture strength. Multilayer feed-forward backpropagation ANN approach was used to predict the mechanical properties by using material type, composition and number of reinforcement and matrix layers as input variables. From 20 data patterns, 16 were used for network training and remaining 4 were used to test the models. Furthermore, trend analysis was also performed to understand the influence of inputs on developed models. It is evident from the ANN prediction results that there is good correlation between predicted and actual values within acceptable mean absolute error. The outcomes of this research will help to reduce cost and time by eliminating tedious composite property measurements and to fabricate tailored composites meeting application requirements.
